I made this chart mapping all the events that facilitated America's decline (I am very fun at parties) about a year ago and never posted it, but I feel like this is what a lot of the 25th anniversary of 9/11 conversation has been circling around... how we really failed in the aftermath.

Ben McKenzie is right: America increasingly feels “winner-take-all.” Power & wealth concentrate at the top, while most feel ignored & left behind. One part of the problem? Winner-take-all elections. The solution: Proportional representation. Deb Otis explains. Stitch ➡️ @samisagesays.bsky.social

Kinda antisemitic of Trump to give a nationwide address in the middle of the Passover Seder… won’t he think of his Jewish grandchildren?!

Michael Cohen announcing on Lara Trump's show that he's doing a podcast with LAURA LOOMER must be some sort of hazing or humiliation ritual to make him prove he wants back into the Mar-a-Lago crowd badly enough
“ This Dallas fuckery isn't just about Black disenfranchisement in this primary, it's about creating Black disenchantment to depress November turnout and put the core Dem voter base at odds with other constituencies within the party.” - @samisagesays.bsky.social

Lots of people have been saying "I can't believe the QAnon was right all along, they just got the wrong party!" Yes... that was on purpose. Did Trump and his allies invent Pizzagate to deflect from the Katie Johnson lawsuit to get him elected in 2016? betchesnews.substack.com/p/pizzagate-...
Pizzagate: How Jeffrey Epstein Got Donald Trump Elected (Part 1)
Information warfare, preemptive narrative inversion, and why every accusation is a confession

What's funny about Trump lying about kicking Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago is that Jeffrey Epstein was never actually an official member, he was simply allowed to hang out there without paying for a membership because HIS BEST FRIEND, THE PRESIDENT, IS THE OWNER
It’s long been assumed that Jeffrey Epstein was a Mossad agent… but when Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced his government was investigating the Epstein Files, he said Epstein was running a KGB-backed compromise operation. So what explains the decades of Mossad allegations?
Was Jeffrey Epstein A Mossad Agent?
… it’s more complicated and much worse.

Chefs like Adam Perry Lang are still untouched. It wasn't just “of its time.” Power has always known how to launder itself, while the same names keep resurfacing at banks, universities, and cocktail parties, as if nothing ever happened. @samisagesays.bsky.social @underthedesknews.bsky.social
The Super Bowl halftime show is great. Conservatives are gonna hate it.
a great deal of what they have tried to cover up went back to the Katie Johnson case ... ground zero ... how you connect Epstein to Trump w/ a really serious credible accusation like that is a very straightforward corroborated story - @ @samisagesays.bsky.social on the @tarapalmeri.bsky.social show

@tarapalmeri.bsky.social: There's another email from someone I think it was Epstein saying, you know, Michael Cohen knows everything @samisagesays.bsky.social: You have to be pretty fucking thick to expect people to believe that he did not orchestrate the silencing of the Katie Johnson case

Epstein and his pals fixated on fertility, longevity, and ritual because they didn’t just want wealth — they wanted to be untouchable. Living gods. Immune from consequences. @underthedesknews.bsky.social @samisagesays.bsky.social
I spent 6 days reading the Epstein Files. His impact was wide-reaching and long-lasting. My analysis of the most dangerous landmines he left behind:

IF ONLY THE CREEPS IN THE EPSTEIN FILES WERE AS RELENTLESS ABOUT AGE VERIFICATION AS THE DOJ WEBSITE
Something we take for granted is that the president has not one nice word for a dead American shot by the government, even if it were accidental
It’s fucked up that trad media is barely covering Jack Smith’s testimony, but if you want 8 hours simplified into 1 thread, I got you. And please share so it gets the coverage this deserves…🧵 I'm going to write this as plainly as possible so people who aren't deep in the political sauce can follow
Can someone ask David Brooks which exit off the Road to Character will get you to dinner with a convicted sex trafficker?
The Epstein files are due tomorrow and within the past 12 hours, Trump has announced the Hunger Games, a $1776 "warrior dividend", that he's changing the Kennedy Center to the TRUMP-KENNEDY CENTER, and designated Venezuela a 'foreign terrorist organization'
